Template:Dungeon The Ghost Ship is a vessel that haunts the Great Sea in The Wind Waker.

Features

The Ghost Ship haunts several islands of the Great Sea during the night. It appears at different locations depending on the current state of the moon. The ship is doomed to sail the Great Sea until freed from its curse. Only the one holding the Ghost Ship Chart, hidden on Diamond Steppe Island,[1] can enter the ship. According to Lenzo, the sailor who made the Ghost Ship Chart was following the vessel across all of its destinations, drawing a map of its movements. When the map was done, he suddenly died.[2]

In order to free the ship from its course, Link must defeat a Wizzrobe and two Poes within. However, the Wizzrobe is able to summon ReDeads and Stalfos into the battle. After defeating all the enemies, Link will be able to climb up a ladder leading to a Treasure Chest which contains a Triforce Chart or a Triforce Shard in The Wind Waker HD.

After Link collects the Triforce Chart or Shard hidden within, the Ghost Ship will stop roaming the sea and disappear entirely.

Trivia

  • The scream that is heard when obtaining the Triforce Chart is actually a sped up version of an unused audio clip of Jabun screaming.[9]
  • In the small room containing the Treasure Chest, there is an engraved face on the wall that seems to have a wide, eerie grin from afar. However, when Link approaches it, the face quickly changes to that of an expressionless, normal face. This was removed in The Wind Waker HD.
  • In The Wind Waker HD, the interior floor of the Ghost Ship now bears a ghastly haze.
